Hi Chris, Welcome to the Forum.

You need either a Red or Blue RX65i.

Beltronics Radar Detectors :: Performance Rules

"i" stands for International Unit, there is a slightly difference in police radar band/frequency btwn USA/CAN models and International ones.

Some of forum members are Kiwi nationals as well, among them ka34.739 and ghz1, get in touch with them if you wish.

Apparently the "i" models ain't cheap at all, get in touch with them IF you really need an "i" in NZ. Before you buy one of course.

Good Luck.

Chris in Canada

Better to get in touch with some NZ forum members like the ones I named in my previous post. Personally I know nothing about NZ Police Radar Bands and Frequencies.

Yes it will work fine in New Zealand NZ Police use Stalker DSR Radar Ka 34.7 which is made in the USA by applied concepts. It may not be so good at picking up the low powered speed cameras tho.

How much will it cost to but one in the USA then get it sent over?
I brought my Radar from New Zealand because that way if something goes wrong as in faults. I am covered under the consumer guarantees act 1993.
